The Lord Jehovah is

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah is Our Father and our Friend; Immortal majesty is his, Nor can his glory end. 2 He guards his children well, Nor shall they starve for want; When they their needs unto him tell, He’ll answer their complaint. 3 He bids his saints draw nigh, Nor fear to call him theirs; And, though he reigns enthroned on high, He calls them sons and heirs. 4 His sympathising heart Feels for them in distress; And love divine he will impart, With strength and righteousness. 5 [Though they in darkness walk, He is their Father still; And when insulting Ishmaels mock He will his grace reveal.] 6 [His children he supplies With food and raiment too; He with his wisdom makes them wise, And will their strength renew.] 7 Should men and devils try To make the saints a prey; The Lord, their Father, still is nigh, To guard them in his way. 8 Through all the scenes of time, He’ll make his goodness known; His sons, in every age and clime, His sovereign grace shall own.

His love is like a father's to his children, Tender and kind to all who fear His Name; For well He knows our weakness and our frailty, He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame. 2 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty, Like tender grass that soon will disappear; But evermore the love of God is changeless, Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. High in the heavens His throne is fixed forever, His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole; Bless ye the Lord through all His wide dominion, Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul.
